Teresa Lyrics

The Andrews Sisters

(Dick Haymes)
Why am I always yearning for Teresa
When there is Peggy, Margarite and Mary Jane
Why does my heart keep burnin' for Teresa
When I know that lovin' her is all in vain
Oh. Peggy is delightful, and Margarite is sweet
And a little smile from Mary Jane can make my day complete
Nevertheless there's only one I dream of
Teresa, Teresa my love.

(Andrews Sisters)
Why is he always yearning for Teresa
When we have charms and we have arms to love him so, love him so
Why does his heart keep burning for Teresa
When we'd give all the world just to have him alone for our beau
Whenever we are near him our hearts begin to dance
For he looks at us so tenderly that we think we stand a chance
Nevertheless there's only one he dreams of
Teresa, Teresa his love.

(Dick Haymes)
Why am I always yearning for Teresa

When there are other girls that I can be around

(Andrews)
Oh how I hate to hear that name Teresa
What's she got that I have not I'd like to know

(Dick Haymes)
Oh. Peggy is delightful, and Margarite is sweet
And a little smile from Mary Jane can make my day complete

(Andrews)
In spite of it all there's only one he dreams of
Teresa

(Dick Haymes)
Teresa my love.

(Orchestral Break)

(Dick Haymes)
I haven't found the answer, and chances are I might

(Andrews)
If he knew the way to capture her, his future would be bright

(All)
Nevertheless there's only one we dream of

(Dick Haymes)
Teresa

(Andrews)
No one but Teresa

(All)
Teresa, Teresa my love
